google_sql_database_instance resource

Syntax

A google_sql_database_instance is used to test a Google DatabaseInstance resource

Examples


describe google_sql_database_instance(project: 'chef-gcp-inspec', database: 'my-database') do
  it { should exist }
  its('state') { should eq 'RUNNABLE' }
  its('backend_type') { should eq 'SECOND_GEN' }
  its('database_version') { should eq 'MYSQL_5_7' }
end

Test that a GCP Cloud SQL Database instance is in the expected state

describe google_sql_database_instance(project: 'chef-inspec-gcp',  database: 'my-database') do
  its('state') { should eq 'RUNNABLE' }
end

Test that a GCP Cloud SQL Database instance generation type

describe google_sql_database_instance(project: 'chef-inspec-gcp',  database: 'my-database') do
  its('backend_type') { should eq "SECOND_GEN" }
end

Test that a GCP Cloud SQL Database instance connection name is as expected

describe google_sql_database_instance(project: 'spaterson-project',  database: 'gcp-inspec-db-instance') do
  its('connection_name') { should eq "spaterson-project:europe-west2:gcp-inspec-db-instance" }
end

Confirm that a GCP Cloud SQL Database instance has the correct version

describe google_sql_database_instance(project: 'spaterson-project',  database: 'gcp-inspec-db-instance') do
  its('database_version') { should eq "MYSQL_5_7" }
end

Confirm that a GCP Cloud SQL Database instance is running in the desired region and zone

describe google_sql_database_instance(project: 'spaterson-project',  database: 'gcp-inspec-db-instance') do
  its('gce_zone') { should eq "europe-west2-a" }
  its('region') { should eq "europe-west2" }
end

Properties

Properties that can be accessed from the google_sql_database_instance resource:

backend_type
Possible values:
  • FIRST_GEN: First Generation instance. MySQL only.
  • SECOND_GEN: Second Generation instance or PostgreSQL instance.
  • EXTERNAL: A database server that is not managed by Google.
connection_name
Connection name of the Cloud SQL instance used in connection strings.
database_version
The database engine type and version. For First Generation instances, can be MYSQL_5_5, or MYSQL_5_6. For Second Generation instances, can be MYSQL_5_6 or MYSQL_5_7. Defaults to MYSQL_5_6. PostgreSQL instances: POSTGRES_9_6 The databaseVersion property can not be changed after instance creation.

Possible values:

  • MYSQL_5_5
  • MYSQL_5_6
  • MYSQL_5_7
  • POSTGRES_9_6
failover_replica
The name and status of the failover replica. This property is applicable only to Second Generation instances.
available
The availability status of the failover replica. A false status indicates that the failover replica is out of sync. The master can only failover to the failover replica when the status is true.
name
The name of the failover replica. If specified at instance creation, a failover replica is created for the instance. The name doesn’t include the project ID. This property is applicable only to Second Generation instances.
instance_type
The instance type. This can be one of the following. _ CLOUD_SQL_INSTANCE: A Cloud SQL instance that is not replicating from a master. _ ON_PREMISES_INSTANCE: An instance running on the customer’s premises. _ READ_REPLICA_INSTANCE: A Cloud SQL instance configured as a read-replica.

Possible values:

  • CLOUD_SQL_INSTANCE
  • ON_PREMISES_INSTANCE
  • READ_REPLICA_INSTANCE
ip_addresses
The assigned IP addresses for the instance.
ip_address
The IP address assigned.
time_to_retire
The due time for this IP to be retired in RFC 3339 format, for example 2012-11-15T16:19:00.094Z. This field is only available when the IP is scheduled to be retired.
type
The type of this IP address. A PRIMARY address is an address that can accept incoming connections. An OUTGOING address is the source address of connections originating from the instance, if supported.

Possible values:

  • PRIMARY
  • OUTGOING
ipv6_address
The IPv6 address assigned to the instance. This property is applicable only to First Generation instances.
master_instance_name
The name of the instance which will act as master in the replication setup.
max_disk_size
The maximum disk size of the instance in bytes.
name
Name of the Cloud SQL instance. This does not include the project ID.
region
The geographical region. Defaults to us-central or us-central1 depending on the instance type (First Generation or Second Generation/PostgreSQL).
replica_configuration
Configuration specific to failover replicas and read replicas.
failover_target
Specifies if the replica is the failover target. If the field is set to true the replica will be designated as a failover replica. In case the master instance fails, the replica instance will be promoted as the new master instance. Only one replica can be specified as failover target, and the replica has to be in different zone with the master instance.
mysql_replica_configuration
MySQL specific configuration when replicating from a MySQL on-premises master. Replication configuration information such as the username, password, certificates, and keys are not stored in the instance metadata. The configuration information is used only to set up the replication connection and is stored by MySQL in a file named master.info in the data directory.
ca_certificate
PEM representation of the trusted CA’s x509 certificate.
client_certificate
PEM representation of the slave’s x509 certificate
client_key
PEM representation of the slave’s private key. The corresponding public key is encoded in the client’s certificate.
connect_retry_interval
Seconds to wait between connect retries. MySQL’s default is 60 seconds.
dump_file_path
Path to a SQL dump file in Google Cloud Storage from which the slave instance is to be created. The URI is in the form gs://bucketName/fileName. Compressed gzip files (.gz) are also supported. Dumps should have the binlog coordinates from which replication should begin. This can be accomplished by setting –master-data to 1 when using mysqldump.
master_heartbeat_period
Interval in milliseconds between replication heartbeats.
password
The password for the replication connection.
ssl_cipher
A list of permissible ciphers to use for SSL encryption.
username
The username for the replication connection.
verify_server_certificate
Whether or not to check the master’s Common Name value in the certificate that it sends during the SSL handshake.
replica_names
The replicas of the instance.
service_account_email_address
The service account email address assigned to the instance. This property is applicable only to Second Generation instances.
settings
The user settings.
database_flags
The database flags passed to the instance at startup
name
The name of the flag. These flags are passed at instance startup, so include both server options and system variables for MySQL. Flags should be specified with underscores, not hyphens.
value
The value of the flag. Booleans should be set to on for true and off for false. This field must be omitted if the flag doesn’t take a value.
ip_configuration
The settings for IP Management. This allows to enable or disable the instance IP and manage which external networks can connect to the instance. The IPv4 address cannot be disabled for Second Generation instances.
ipv4_enabled
Whether the instance should be assigned an IP address or not.
authorized_networks
The list of external networks that are allowed to connect to the instance using the IP. In CIDR notation, also known as ‘slash’ notation (e.g. 192.168.100.0/24).
expiration_time
The time when this access control entry expires in RFC 3339 format, for example 2012-11-15T16:19:00.094Z.
name
An optional label to identify this entry.
value
The whitelisted value for the access control list. For example, to grant access to a client from an external IP (IPv4 or IPv6) address or subnet, use that address or subnet here.
require_ssl
Whether the mysqld should default to ‘REQUIRE X509’ for users connecting over IP.
tier
The tier or machine type for this instance, for example db-n1-standard-1. For MySQL instances, this field determines whether the instance is Second Generation (recommended) or First Generation.
availability_type
The availabilityType define if your postgres instance is run zonal or regional. Possible values:
  • ZONAL
  • REGIONAL
backup_configuration
The daily backup configuration for the instance.
enabled
Enable Autobackup for your instance.
binary_log_enabled
Whether binary log is enabled. If backup configuration is disabled, binary log must be disabled as well. MySQL only.
start_time
Define the backup start time in UTC (HH:MM)
settings_version
The version of instance settings. This is a required field for update method to make sure concurrent updates are handled properly. During update, use the most recent settingsVersion value for this instance and do not try to update this value.
user_labels
User-provided labels, represented as a dictionary where each label is a single key value pair.
gce_zone
The Compute Engine zone that the instance is currently serving from. This value could be different from the zone that was specified when the instance was created if the instance has failed over to its secondary zone.
state
The current serving state of the database instance.

Possible values:

  • SQL_INSTANCE_STATE_UNSPECIFIED
  • RUNNABLE
  • SUSPENDED
  • PENDING_DELETE
  • PENDING_CREATE
